Fudgy Brownies

Ingredients

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

2 eggs, whole (We use Eggland’s Best eggs because they have 25% less saturated fat than ordinary eggs!)

1 egg, white

1/3 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup dark chocolate chips

1/3 cup sugar

½ cup cocoa powder

1/3 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp salt

Directions

Preheat your over to 350°F and spray your brownie pan with oil. In a food processor or blender, process black beans and eggs until smooth. Add the oil and vanilla, pulse. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour bean mixture into a large bowl and stir in the cocoa mixture using a spatula. Do not over mix. Add ½ of the chocolate chips and stir until combined. Pour the brownie mixture into the pan and top with the leftover chocolate chips. Bake for about 30 minutes – or until a toothpick comes out (almost) clean. Allow the brownies to cool and set! Cut the brownies using a plastic knife when cooled & ENJOY!
